Michael Jackson; the king of pop, died in June 25th 2009. For many people, he was the definition of the Superstar. Almost everybody knew who Michael Jackson was, and almost everybody has listened to at least one of his song. When he died 3 month ago, all the TV stations made a focus on the death of the ‘king of pop’. Our main question is that will there be any more superstars? as super as Michael Jackson was?. Superstar is created by audiences, it is all about how many people will remember him/her.
The biggest problem of creating another superstar is that people are watching many other TV programs, so people cannot focus on just one star to make him or her as a true superstar. There are too many TV channels now compared to Michael Jackson era. Every time when people turned on TVs, people saw Michael Jackson on TV but now, there are many other TV programs that are not focused on stars. They focus on other things such as remodeling houses, cooking, games and so on. There are not enough opportunities for stars to become a superstar.
Another reason there cannot be another superstar is that there are too many competitions. Many artists have their own style of performing their arts, and they are all good. It is much harder for them to survive than Michael Jackson’s era. Which means it is hard to find someone who is specially better than the other.
It is going to be very hard to find a superstar, as super as Michael Jackson was. Audiences are fragmented, and there are too many competitions. Important thing is that audiences are craving for a superstar, so even though finding a superstar is going to be much harder than before, there will be another superstar.
